Albert Einstein nació el 14 de marzo de 1879 en Ulm

(Alemania) y murió el 18 de abril de 1955 en Princeton


(Estados Unidos).
 

Hijo primogénito de Hermann Einstein y de Pauline Koch,


ambos judíos. Un año más tarde de que muriera Einstein,
toda la familia se mudó a Múnich, donde nació su hermana
Maya, dos años menor que él.

Many historians say that Einstein was not a good student


and that he did not stand out in subjects such as natural
sciences, history or languages. However, since childhood
he grew up with interest in music, especially violin, and
science. In 1894, his father's company suffered a strong
economic crisis that forced them to move near Milan (Italy).
Albert continued in Munich to finish high school.
Although the intention of the small Albert was to finish his
studies in Germany, finally it was not so: before obtaining
his baccalaureate degree, Einstein dropped out of school
and moved to Italy to reunite with his family.

 Einsten noted for its pacifist and anti-war character.


Therefore, after the outbreak of the First World War in 1914,
he was part of the German Democratic Party. In addition, he
refused to sign a manifesto supporting the Kaiser that
justified the violence that began to unleash in Europe.

 Shortly after, he wanted to enter the Federal Polytechnic


School of Zurich, but suspended the entrance exam. His
parents sent him to study at Aarau to finish his
baccalaureate studies and, finally, in 1896 he managed to
enroll to study Physics.In 1900 he graduated in Physics and
obtained the diploma of Professor of Mathematics and
Physics, although he did not find work until after a few
years.
In 1902 he began working at the Confederal Office of
Intellectual Property in Bern until 1909. However, during this
period he continued advancing in his scientific career
continuing his research. He discovered great achievements
for the world, and making history.

Einstein completed his PhD in Physics in 1905 with the


thesis A new determination in molecular dimensions. Also,
in that same year, in addition to his thesis, he published four
more memoirs in the German scientific journal Annalen der
Physik or Annals of Physics that changed the conception of
the universe.
In these articles he explained the photoelectric effect - which
earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 - the
Brownian movement, the theory of special relativity and the
equivalence between energy, E, and its mass, m, in terms of
the equation E = mc2, where c is the speed of light. These
publications are known as articles of the Annus mirabilis or
the admirable Year.
In 1908 he began his teaching career as a professor at the
University of Bern. Two years later he moved to Prague with
his wife Maleva and their children, where he obtained the
position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at the German
University of Prague.
In 1914 he returned to Berlin as a member of the Prussian
Academy of Sciences. There he focused on perfecting and
developing the General Theory of Relativity he presented in
1915 and published finished in the Annalen der Physik
magazine in 1916.
The confirmation of his theory came in 1919, when a solar
eclipse was photographed by an English astronomical
expedition. Thanks to this, Time introduced Einstein as the
new Newton and his international recognition only
increased.
